What really fun is when the natural waves from from two directions at
once,

my
boat.

One of these days....I'm tellin' ya...I'm gonna bring a .45-70 out
there
with me. "Officer - I swear it looked like a buffalo". :-)

When we were along the ICW in northern Florida, not a day would go by
without a couple of overstuffed "cruisers" wallowing on by, tossing off
absolutely huge wakes that would wash up and over the marshes, erode the
shorelines, rock everyone's floating dock and, on occasion, flip some
poor fisherman's little boat along the edges. But we got our revenge, at
least with some of them: just north of St. Augustine Inlet, there was a
lovely sandbar that lurked just a couple of feet beneath the surface
except at dead low tide and managed to give a couple of the oblivious
"capitanos" a jolt.
Seeing boats run aground was a thrill for you, huh? Well, Harry, for most
people, that would be the sign of a psychological disorder, but for
you...well, it's just a 'foible'.

In this case, Harry is correct in enjoying the other boater's misfortune.

I can safely say that being considerate of other boaters involves an extra
effort of EXACTLY ZERO. Anyone who does NOT do it needs to learn, and for
some people, misfortune is the only way to learn.

Or, to put it another way, the only correct set of boating manners is the
one practiced by ME. Anything outside of that set indicates intent to do
harm.

This is not debatable. Isn't that nice?




I have to admit, "Joe," that you are far more tolerant of the newsgroup
idiots than I ever have been. And I thought Herringbrain was getting
back into boating.

He's not worth much effort. As the old saying goes, you can't turn a pig's
rectum into a Ferrari. Or something like that.

Nor is it debatable that you and Harry think alike. You've demonstrated
that consistently.

So, you think it's fine to be inconsiderate, when it's convenient for you.

That's good to know. I would think you'd want to keep something like that to
yourself.

I don't recall Chuckster spending much time out in the ocean, or at least
offering up purple prose about it. Isn't he more of a protected waters
bloater, er, boater?


I don't know.

I confess, I haven't read many of the posts here for the last couple of
months. With Mrs. E's blessings, I've spent many more hours on the boats
this summer than I have at home and I don't bother with an Internet
connection on them.

Unfortunately, Labor Day is a reminder that the remaining days are
numbered, and the "honey-do" list has now turned into a two book volume.

I like your airplane. My boat isn't quite big enough to land my plane on.
But, the future is coming!

It's an old north eastern tradition.

You know - you just can't have any fun on this newsgroup.

Either somebody is going to take it personally, or change the thread
to something about unions/politics/nasty commentary about the personal
nature of whoever.

It's getting freakin' ridiculous. I thought it was perfectly obvious
I was poking a little fun at Chuck, but nnoooooooooo - it's gotta be
something more than what it was.

Unbelievable.

Damn...

Tom, Harry is most definitely *not* poking fun with his constant barrage of
offensive bull****.

Your post sounded *very* much like it was authored by Harry. You may think
Harry and his 'foibles' are cute, but imitating him is not going to get any
laughs.

Poor Herring. His life here apparently is aimed at getting a rise out of
me. He's been no more successful at that than he's been with his dick.

Actually, Harry, both of my kids talk to me.

Is your discussing my dick considered a 'foible'?

Don, does your association with this make you proud?

my boating is done on Lake
Ontario, which can be like a pond at noon, and completely insane 4-6 hours

I grew up boating on the eastern end of Lake Ontario and have seen a
few 6 and 7 foot waves from a too small boat. It wasn't pretty and
I'm lucky to be here.

The worst I've experienced as a recreational boater was confused 7-8 footers
about 20 miles off the coast of Delaware. Fortunately, it was on the
Navigator and although bouncy, we were not in any danger. A passing
tropical storm 100 miles offshore was the culprit. At one point,
mid-afternoon, we responded to a Coast Guard request to assist a small,
open fishing boat that was in trouble near our coordinates, however a
commercial ship got to them before us. After that, I opted for an
unscheduled overnight at a marina in Delaware until the storm passed and the
seas calmed down.

Did you check the transom height on that small fishing boat?
